  I want to change my url from sittingonthebench to jillanory. I created a site called jillanory a while back which I have never used and want to use this as my new name with the content from sittingonthebench.

  The problem is I changed the name of the blog from sittingonthebench to jillanory so when I try to transfer the jillanory domain it doesn’t recognise sittingonthebench anymore. Am I making sense?!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I created a site called jillanory a while back which I have never used and want to use this as my new name with the content from sittingonthebench.

  Since both sites already exist, the best way to do this is to export the content from http://sittingonthebench.wordpress.com/ and import it into https://jillanory.wordpress.com/.

  Here are the instructions for exporting the content from sittingonthebench:

  Here are the instructions for importing the export file back into jillanory:

  Let me know if you have any questions about that!
